INVENTORY CHALLENGE No. 51 - POLKA DOT

(version française en italique et de couleur différente)

Happy Friday my Friends,

The end of another week, the end of another month, and the last but not the least, almost one year of Inventory Challenges, yes, today marks our 51st challenge, for which Christina and I have suggested a Polka dot theme! I love polka dots! Before going on to my card, I have a cute little story for you. I was out of large black ribbon, so,went to the fabric store close by. They offer a club card and mine was expired, so the lady offered to renew it; I accepted, and she explained they now had 2 plans, and preferred price for "seniors"(60+), so, without even asking my age, she charged me the preferred rate. Upon walking to my car, I realized, that I just slipped into this "senior" category two years before my time!!! I told the story to my husband; he said don't complain you saved. When I told my son, he replied, well... you could be a grand-ma!!!!!!!! OK... I never reacted to my age before. It's the first time, that I freak out because I am getting closer to changing age bracket; well , lets face it, I have 2 years to come to peace with the fact that I seemI look my age; but, I consider it a great advantage to shop for ribbon while being close to 60....

I pulled out one of my hAnglar little girls, with a polka dot dress. She seems to be saying I love you this much! my pink Copics and the wonderful paper from My Minds Eyes, Lost & Found collection, Blush, available at Scrapbook ta vie. I found the wonderful sketch from Diva by Design Challenge blog. And my card practically made itself! OH! sounds magic, but, I'll be back at the beginning of October with quite another story... For those who asked me, I now take note of all my colors, they are indicated below. Unfortunately I have the old Prismacolor series, and believe that the number are now different, even the colors, sorry about that.

I used a beautiful Heart Circles by spelbinder and cut a glittery shape on which I glued a little bow and a heart charm. It is with the little hearts from this die cut that I made the heart garland that cutie is holding on top of my card.

thank you so much for your visit, please take a moment, to drop by my friends and team mates blogs, and admire their wonderful creations. Please have thoughts and prayers for Cathy-Lynn, who can't be with us this week, as her mother is in the hospital. Next week, will be our 52nd challenge, as I mentioned earlier; for the occasion, we suggested that every one create a card that expresses what participating to the Inventory Challenges means to them. Have a wonderful weekend, I'll be back during the weekend with my DT projects for Scapbook ta vie.

Good morning Danielle! Wowzers! What a beautiful card with so many details to admire. I love how you have this beauty holding the cord with the hearts. And of course your coloring is awesome. Lovely as always! Hey girlfriend I see you got a bargain. Whatever it takes but heck you saved some $$. Thinking of you!!HUGS! Cathy

Polka dot - Polka dots - what a fun challenge Danielle! You and Christina both color so well. Very pretty. Love this sketch and know I will grab it. Love the little flower with the heart in the right hand corner and then you completed the heart with such a grand idea. That chain - how wonderful is that!Sandy

OOOHHH!!! Your card is just so sweet! The pink and black combo really works well for this challenge. Love the heart charm and tiny flowers in the corner. The little heart chain is the perfect finishing touch. As always your coloring is perfect.Huggeroonies,Kathy

OH your card is really magical! Love this image and using the polka dotted paper all around just makes her shine! Yet another coloring medium you're mastering perfectly. Your coloring is amazing!!! Have a wonderful rest of the weekend!Hugs,Barb

Oh, she's so adorable, Daniell! Great colors and coloring too and the inside decorations are all so deliciously executed!Oh, dear heart, don't you worry about the senior years drawing by, look at the bright side- lots of crafting time and money saved for ribbons:) Now really, one is as old as she feels. And I'm feeling you so close to my age:) No offense there, it's just that I feel great talking to you. Plus, I'm guessing any 40 plus person would have received a discount on that store since they didn't even ask for an ID:)Your card is adorable, m'dear, just like you!Bisous!
